WASHINGTON, June 24.-The people.
of Pierre, the elder. are Still inclined to
sit down upon Pierre. the younger, and
take her postOffiee away from her. Ever
since the postofIice was established at
East Pierre the people Of old Pierre
have felt aggrieved. They feel that
there was no necessity fer a new office
so near them, part of their city being
thus divided off and large part of the
revenues of the original Office being di-
verted, while the work Of mail distrihu-
ton was increased. The new Office was
undoubtedly drawback to the postal
prosperity of Pierre, and added largely
to the labor of that office: without any
redeeming financial = feGture;, but the
people of East Pierre were a long way
from the old Office and made a big show
ing of their need of q neR office, and it
was established. 1t is GGW shown, thOW-ll
ever, that Pierre has street car line
and the people can eaSily;go to the old
Office for their mail, and there is-a like
lihood of the discontinuanee OF the Office

A PROXY CONVENTION.

The convention to be held at Huron,
July 13, is to be on paper the largest
delegate political gathering ever held
in Dakota 578 delegates. 1t is proba-
BILE that nearly all the counties in the
limits of the South state will be repre-
scented, at least by proxy. The actual
attendance of delegates is not likely to
be geographically in about the same
ratio as at the sessions of the constitu-
tiOnal convention the last few years.
One county is entitled to twenty-nine
delegates, and i'll several of the more
northerly counties the local papers
think it will be difficult to find enough
pronounced diviSioniStS to fill the dele
cations. The Aberdeen News says the
entire division strength of Brown
county car be numbered with the
twenty-five delegates. Col. PLUMMER
will be there with his pockets all
stuffed with proxies. He learned
how to work the proxy brTiness when
he run with the "old gig" in the
North. 1t is probable that three-fourths
of the membership of the convention
will be carried in the pockets of the
other fourth, but the unusual numbers
are designed for effect abroad. 1t will
be taken as evidence of great popular
Juror, and in the absence of any organ
lied movement on the part of the anti
divisionists will be accepted as demon
stration of much significance. 1t is
designed to be followed with thorough
campaign. The object is not to bring
out the voters, as the local option would
do that in most of the counties, but to
convert and convince the people-not to
secure a dispassionate expression of
opinion, but to furnish them new opin-
ions-and induce them to vote for divis-
ion,

SHUT OUT BY LAW
Why DIR. Huff Was Not Made Pres
ident of the Health Board.

Special to the Globe. =st
HURON, Oak, June A-The failure
of DR.. Charles C. HUI, of this city, to
receive the appointment of president of
of the Dakota board of health has
brought to the attention of the homeo-
pathic profession OF the territory one or
two points in the law creating the
board, which they propose shall be REM
edied at the next session of the legiSia-
ture. Gov Church did not withhold
DR.. Huff's commission because of any
complaint or avOwal of incompetence,
but because of provision in the law to
which his attention was. called
by the attorney general on
the governors return to Bismarck,
This provision is to the effect that the
board af health shall consist of three
members, practitioners of the school re-
cognized by the American Medical as
ISOLATION. As homeopathy is not recog-
nized by that association, of course DR..
Huff's appointment could not be made
in strict compliance with the law. 1t is
not surprising that the homeopathic
physicians of the territory should be.
somewhat exercised over the seemingly
unjust and direct discrimination against
them. Letters will soon be sent to each
homeopathic physician in Dakota. ask
ing an expression of opinion and invit-,
ing suggestions looking to the fornia-
ton of a law that will give them pro-
per recognition, and they will ask its
passage by the. next general assembly.
1t is proposed to increase the board
to seven members, thee of whom shall
be allopathic, three homeopathic and
one eclectic, each to be graduate of
his respective school in medicine and
surgery, and with an experience of not
less than three years continuous prac-
tice in the territory. 1t is not improb-
able that the homeopathic fraternity
will meet with some opposition to it's
proposed new law, but the business OF
the proposition cannot be questioned.:
neither should they be censured. for
their early taking so important matter,
to them, in hand. The profession will
have the Endorsement of a very large
class of people in this undertaking.

WASHINGTON, June A.-The first as

revised and studied the accounts of the
presidential postoffices i'll Dakota, and
decided upon the salaries which shall be
paid to each of them during the coming
year. These salaries are annually re-
vised by the first assistant postmaster
general and fixed according to the reve-
nues of the offices. The receipts from
box rents and commissions, or the in
come of the Office, determines the salary
in every case. The following is the re-
suit of the work, showing the salaries
determined upon for the year ending
June 30, 1887, and for the year ending

The above table indicates the pros
perity and progression, or retrogression
of the various communities, to very
great extent. The postal business or
lack thereof very largely indexes the
commercial condition of the towns and
cities. The third assistant postmaster
general claims to be able to give the
commercial status of the various cities
of the country by their postal revenues,
and to predict their immediate future
quite accurately. The advancing towns
of the territory, according to this official
showing, are Aberdeen. Canton, Clark,
Columbia, DeadwOod, Devils Lake,
Groton, Huron, Ipswich, Kimball, Mad
ison, Miller, Parker, Park River, Plank.

THE GRAND FORKS STORM.

Losses Not SO Serious as at First
Supposed.
Special to the Globe.
GRAND FORKS, OAK, June Pat is
obvious that the earlier estimates of
damage from the late storm were high.
Take, for example, the University of
North Dakota. A competent and re-
SponSible carpenter has offered to repair
the building for less than $1,000, and it
is believed enough can be saved by
economy this year to reconstruct the
damaged parts. AS for the valuable
museum of natural history, principally
belonging to President Montgomery, it
is believed by that gentleman he may
De be able to gather UP 1I, and restore most OF
damage to the university has OccasiOned
a great local cOmmOtiOn and reopened
the old controversy as to its particular
location. At meeting of the regents
and faculty last night the question was
seriously debated to take the building
down and rebuild on suburban lots.
The regents and faculty argue that the
university, being mile from the city,
is too far out and can never enlist the
hearty co operation of the city, so much
desired, and which it doubtless
would receive, were it nearer
home. While this is the view
of many, they are confronted with the
memorable legal barrier that the uni
yersity stands on twenty acres of
ground donated and decided to the terri
tory by Bulge q Eshelman, the most
enterprising land owners at a time when
a site was wanted, and being so situated
and located, it cannot be moved an inch
without territorial authority. The le~af
gentlemen on the board of regents are
fully cogniZant of this, and know full
we'll what risks would have to be run in
anticipating future Legislative sanction
for removal without warrant. The
losses of more needy individuals by the
storm were promptly adjusted by the
commission composed of Aker, Fred
rick, Hennessy, Rueth and Christiani.
The unfortunate Stirbird family, in
whose homework two lives were lost
and two others nearly, have been the
object of special sempathy. Not only
were all their personal losses repaired
by the committee, but Messrs. Fulton
and Gowran have nobly decided lot
to Mrs. Stirbird for new home. The
business blocks and residences damaged
have nearly all been renovated, and
thus the characteristic elasticity and
energy of Grand Forks people is amply
xemplified.

EFFECTUALLY PIGEoNHoLED
How Republican Land Officers
are Delaying Important Cases.

are Delaying Important Gases.
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, June A.-The Dakota
land offices still held by Republicans are
likely to remain in the hands of the in
cumbents for some time to come unless
the governor shall take some action
concerning them. The cases are hang
ing in pigeon-holes, and there they will
stay until the applicants die or their
heads grow gray. There is always
something fresh every day to occupy
the attention of the commissioner of the
general land Office, the appointment
clerk of the department and the secfe-
tary of the interior. They never think
of calling up case and acting upon it
voluntarily. In fact, they have been so
harraSsed and annoyed by appointments
that it is with reluctance that they per
IN themselves to consider case when
it is called up and urged upon their at
tention. Hence, the only way for the
faithful to get their pie is to induce the
governor to come to Washington in per
son and ask for changes to be maze.
Even then nothing will be done unless
the governor is urgent about it. He
will be obliged to see Secretary Lamar
and have the case ordered to be briefed
and made ready for the presidents con-
sideration. Then he will need to see
the president and secure his promise of
action. In addition to that he will have
to get Lamont to make note of the fact.
and order the case to be brought from
the department to the White house.
Then he will have to urge that the eases
be presented to the president at some
time when that over-wOrked man is try
ing to rest and be at leisure. Altogether
it will take the governor about two
weeks of steady working and pulling to
get the cases attended to. The gentle
men who are getting over-anxious and
hungry, as well as thirsty, from long
waiting, would do well to cease writing
letters to the department and fire all
their epistolary wrath at the governor,
and move him in the matter. There
will be no movements here until his ex-

was pioneer in the Western states be-
fore there were any railroads. He con-
trasts the hardships and rough exper-

settlers, and thinks that the latter can
have very little conception of what it

He has seen those pioneers in Illinois.
Indiana and Ohio become well-to-doand
surrounded by prosperous communities,
and the same condition of things he says
is reached in Dakota in one-tenth of the

Central railroad, and in one place run
seventy-one miles without sight of a
habitatiOn. The people thought it was
piece of reckless folly. That country
now is like the Dakota of the early fut-
ure, and he advises every man who can

make the gross earnings law cover the
